Do you know that Malaysia has a purple town? Come visit Jerantut

Go to the old part of Jerantut in Pahang and you’ll see many old two-storey shops painted a bright purple. The shops flank Jalan Besar from Bulatan Mat Kilau to Bandar Lama Jerantut’s clock tower. Even the large flowerpots on the road divider are painted purple.

Public transport is not difficult even though this is a small town. From Bus Station they have buses to Mela, Kerambit and Kuala Lipis at 6h15am, 10h30am and 3h30pm

There are many public cabs available to any location from local district to other district and inclusive to Kuala Lumpur or Kuantan (capital city of Pahang).

Jerantut is dead town at night. Except for Saturday night where local night market (Pasar Malam)is held, city sleeps at 11-12PM. On Sunday flee market is quite interesting to look into.

Jerantut is a small town in Pahang, on the east coast of peninsular Malaysia. The town is the main transport hub for visiting the Taman Negara National Park but most visitors do not take accommodation here preferring Kuala Tahan village right on the doorstep of the park, now that it has developed sufficient facilities.

The Jerantut District (Chinese: 而连突) is a town, a parliamentary constituency and a district in north-eastern Pahang, Malaysia. Jerantut is the main entrance to the National Park.

Being the largest district in Pahang, it bounds the northern states of Kelantan and Terengganu, in the south, Temerloh and Maran district, in the west, Lipis and Raub district and in the east, Kuantan district. Tembeling River, the main river in this district is the exciting way to National Park and the surrounding villages in Ulu Tembeling. The joining of Tembeling and Jelai river forms the Pahang river where it flows right through the Royal Pekan town and then through the South China Sea.
